Problems solved by technology

However, when a user removes or opens the closure of such a container and sniffs to determine the fragrance of the flowable substance in the chamber, delivery of the fragrance of the flowable substance to the user is limited.
However, often the fragrance of the additional substance does not match that of the flowable substance within the chamber of the container.

Abstract

Disclosed is a container comprising a vessel defining a chamber storing a volume of a flowable substance having a fragrance, such as a personal care or a home care product; a body defining an opening through which the flowable substance is dispensable from the chamber; and a porous element for retaining a quantity of the flowable substance, the porous element being at a position relative to the volume of the flowable substance so that the flowable substance comes into contact with the porous element as a result of the flowable substance being dispensed from the chamber through the opening. The porous element may be comprised in the body or in a closure that is movable relative to the body between a first position, at which the closure isolates the opening from an exterior of the container, and a second position at which the opening is not isolated from the exterior.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]The present invention relates to a container, such as a bottle, for storing a flowable substance, such as a personal care product or a home care product, which has a fragrance.[0002]There are various known containers, each with a chamber for storing a flowable substance having a fragrance, an opening through which the flowable substance is dispensable from the chamber, and a closure for selectively closing the opening. However, when a user removes or opens the closure of such a container and sniffs to determine the fragrance of the flowable substance in the chamber, delivery of the fragrance of the flowable substance to the user is limited. Some known such containers have connected thereto an additional substance with a fragrance supposedly matching that of the flowable substance within the chamber of the container. A user may sniff the additional substance prior to purchase or use of the container to get an idea of the fragrance of the flowable substance. However, o...
